What is a Curfew?? Curfew is an order specifying a time after which certain regulation apply. In other words an order made by the government or your family to be home at a certain time. Many cities have imposed curfew over the past years and in most of those cities the curfews has reduced several crimes. Curfews are used to discipline and to keep young teens off the streets and out of trouble. Although people feel that there’s no point in curfews and it doesn’t keep our youth out of trouble, I on the other hand feel that curfew does keep our youth out of trouble and is very much needed all over the United States. Why? Because if we didn’t have curfews, there would be way more convicted crimes. There is currently 276 cites that enforced curfews so far. There’s 6 ways to put curfew into place, involve your teen, communicate clearly, except the consequences, set limits, be reasonable, Negotiate, and communicate. For example In San Diego, California crimes have dropped by 20% and in Dallas Texas and New Orleans theirs have dropped by 40%. This is a prime example why curfews been a big help so far. I feel like curfews shouldn’t be the government’s job. Since they are the ones who enforced it, parents should respect that by taking on the responsibility for their own child and should know where their child is at every given time. Parents can also give their child open space to work and attend after school activities, If they’re willing to obey. And once they feel that their child is responsible then they could give them the freedom they deserve. I believe the interdiction of curfews will help control the importance of curfews all over America if it’s enforced right by parents. There are many penalties for breaking the law, not only children face penalties, parents do to. Parents can face up to a 500 dollar fine and if they...

Health Law: Regulation and Compliance
Healthcare has brought on rapid changes for all specialties, addressing proficiencies established by medical facilities in caring for increasingly complex patients in this changing environment. Employees are constantly confronted with legal and ethical dilemmas in clinical decision making; in addition those professionals need to be aware of the way in which the law regulates their professional careers. Legal and ethical issues have been an increased concern when having to produce important decision in their clinical careers. Furthermore, all healthcare professionals are individually accountable through the law to their patients (McHale & Tingle, 2009). Medical professionals can be sued directly by their patients due to their neglect making him or her responsible; furthermore government has been addressing many of the perceived needs of the employee by involving the employer through laws since 1964.

Introduction
British Petroleum is the US’s largest corporation. One of the largest oil producers, BP services globally for billions of dollars each year. BP distributes oil and natural gas all over the world. British Petroleum has run into several problems with federalregulations over many years. Because of safety issues against the communities OSHA had to investigate many times for oil spills and natural gas leaks. Coca Cola is also one of the largest company beverage companies on the world. Coca Cola was used at first to cure addicts but the n it was revamped and used for making drinks for everyone. Like BP, Coca Cola had its issues with the law as well. They have been accused of violating human rights, pesticides in the groundwater, and finding cancer causing chemicals in the soft drinks.

...CurfewLaw
There are many laws passed in today's society that have a foundation for protecting our youth. Of course, many of these laws are a target for controversy, but one these laws seems to have found itself at the top of the list. This law, in many peoples opinion, is a direct violation of our rights as American citizens. Some believe that this is a gateway law that gives the government the ability to become even more overbearing and suppressing to society in general. However, there are also people that feel that this law is vital to the well being of our communities. The law that I speak of is called a curfewlaw. It provides a community with the power to regulate what time minors have to be off the streets and in their homes. There is no individual reason that provides a firm foundation for the passing of this law, but rather complaints by citizens that choose Claremore's youth to be a scapegoat for this city's problems. Unfortunately, I've been under this law's jurisdiction myself because it came into affect just after I became a teenager. Therefore I've been on both sides of the fence and I'm here to say that I do not agree with this law because it is violates my rights, it gives the police more grounds to do what they want despite what people might expect and it causes Claremore's...

...CurfewLaw in Arizona.
Many cities in the state of Arizona have put a curfew on all kids. Kids under the age of 16 cannot be out unsupervised between 10 pm and 5 am. Kids 16-18 cannot be out during 12 am to 5 am. Our country is a free country and allows parents to control their own kids how they choose. Who is to tell a parent how to raise their kid? The government should not be allowed to bully parents and give them rules for their own kids. These curfews are not allowing parents to control their kids to their liking. Many people feel curfews hurt teens rights, are unconstitutional and ineffective. Studies show that curfew do not lower the crimes that teenagers commit. Curfews hamper the teen’s right for free speech by not letting them congregate at certain hours. They go against what America was built for - religious, political and economic freedom for all. . The 1st amendment states the right of the people peaceably to assemble. This amendment is broken by having a curfew. Many people believe curfews stop the crime rate in juveniles. However if a teenager is going to break laws what is to stop them from breaking the curfewlaw along with it? A curfew does nothing but restrict law-abiding citizens. The curfewlaw is the...

...Summary: The enacting of teenage curfewlaws in American cities such as Dallas, Texas is a good idea. Such laws can decrease the juvenile crime rate and provide an opportunity for teens who are at risk to become delinquents to receive needed help.
Over the past several years,
One reason I believe that teenager curfewlaws should be effective in many communities is because of the high rate of juvenile crime. If there are fewer teens in the street there will be fewer crimes will be committed by and against juveniles. Although a nationwide study has never been conducted on curfews' effectiveness in reducing juvenile crime, cities that enforced them have reported a decline in the rate of juvenile crime rates. In Dallas, Texas where a curfew for youths under age 17 took effect in May 1994, police reports show violent crime by juveniles has decreased by 30.3% and overall juvenile crime has decreased by 20.7% (Teen Curfews). In December of 1997, according to the time line Milestones in teen curfews in the United States, the National Council of Mayors concluded that cities that impose youth curfews experienced a significant decrease in juvenile crimes.
Another reason I believe it will be beneficial to have a curfew is because these curfews provide an opportunity for teens who are at risk for becoming...

...﻿TASK 1
Explain the reference to legal principle and relevant case law, the legal aspect of placing the ‘Klick’ clock in the shop window with a price tag attached.
Ann antiques has a rare ‘Klick’ clock on its shop with price tags of €1,000 attached. In spite of its wording the sign in the window does not constitute a legal offer, it is merely an invitation to treat. Invitation to treat is an indication that the person who invite is willing to enter into a negotiation but it is not yet prepared to be bound. This case may be seen in Fisher v Bell (1961). It was held that having switch-blade knives in the window of a shop was not the same as offering them for sale.
TASK 2
Analyze the reference to legal principle and relevant because law, the legal effect of the event that transpired between Ann and Beth ignoring the conversation that took place between Carol and Beth and advice as to whether the valid contract exist between them.
The original invitation to treat at €1,000 was met by an offer from Beth which offers €500 on the ‘Klick’ clock. After Ann received an offer from Beth, Ann made a counter offer on the clock that she would sell €750 for it. It is up to Beth to decide whether to accept the offer or not. A counter offer arises when the offeree tries to change the terms of an original offer.
For example, the Hyde v Wrench (1940) case. In that case, on 6th June, Wrench offered to sell his estate to Hyde for £1,000 but...

Is Having a Curfew for Teens in Salinas a Good Idea?
I strongly agree with the idea of having a curfew for teen in Salinas. I believe that a curfew should really be in Salinas for example how a day’s there are many things that could happen to the teens and the little children. In some of the street there could be kidnapping. In some of cities it is now illegal for any teen under age of eighteen to be out after 11:00pm -5:00am on the weeknights and midnight on weekends unless he or she is out because of a job, school, or recreational activity or dance. Those in favor of teen curfews say that they will be more focused in school and to also reduce juvenile’s crimes and protect teenagers themselves from been the victim of a crime. Therefore, they can become more responsible.
Teen curfews are good for many reasons. First of all, they will be more focused in school to try to get the education they need so they could be someone in life. For example, if they are many teens that don’t have a curfew they would be off and late nights parties and at clubs only if you ask your parents if they could pick you up and tell them at what time are they going to pick you me up . These are the kinds of important things that teenagers will need to be safe. In the other side you have to remember that most of these teens are still student and go to school...
